Doh!!

I am pretty sure that you must then return the frogs to the SAME pnd from whence the taddies/eggs came. Due to the virus problem, to prevent spreading

That's what we do here. Saves having a frog population explosion in one spot also.

If you get on to the National Parks websites - NSW's is:

http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au

and you can access all the information re regulations on keeping frogs. I downloaded a copy for my files last year, and keep it on hand for staff when someone asks.


"For educational purposes, schools in NSW have been licensed to enable children and their teachers to collect and keep a maximum of 20 tadpoles to watch them grow and transform into froglets. Tadpoles must never be collected from national parks or other reserves. Once tadpoles have transformed into froglets, they must be released back in the location where they were collected."

Cheers, everyone!
